I only start with treats and soon go on mainly with the empty hand. But I also use toys and affection for training. My last Rottweiler loved affection the most. Bonding is the basic ground of training in my opinion and so I invest in bonding. It's so easy to bond with dogs, you just need to be close. ❤ As I am a woman, I of course prefer male dogs for myself.
I have a 15 week old lab. I’d like him be versatile for bird/duck hunting and tracking deer. But also be a family dog. My kids and the dog have a great time playing but I see it possibly causing some bad habits. But I and they are really enjoying playing. Is that play a deal breaker?
Hey Daniel... great question and one we get often. Here is a link to an episode of our podcast we did on a very similar question that will go into much more detail than I can type out on here. Hope it helps! dogbonehunter.com/podcast/39/incorporating-family-into-dog-training-finding-balance-ep-99
